The project is located in one of the oldest streets in the Aveiro city, where the architectural richness of the old facades is a hallmark of the city. The project is based on the demolition of a degraded building and the construction of a multifamily housing and commercial building. As such, given the context of the place, one of the premises of the project is to maintain and rehabilitate the facade of the existing building, requalifying it and thus preserving its historical and architectural value in the arrangement of Dr. Lourenço Peixinho Avenue.

The project of this house sought to respond to an extensive programme and at the same time, comply with the rules imposed by the allotment. The allotment is located at Praia da Barra, right beside Ria de Aveiro, with privileged views over it. This is a home for the entire family, from grandparents to grandchildren. The house aims to provide living areas where they can be together, and more private and intimate ones.
The house of S. Bartolomeu, is located in a central area of the city of Aveiro, bordering its historic center – Bairro Beira Mar. The street, which gives its name to the house, makes the transition between single-family dwellings of 2 floors – older, and 4-storey multi-family housing buildings – most recent.
Close to services, commerce, firefighters, school and local government, the surroundings express local characteristics in contact with contemporary materials and languages. In this situation, the building, which is a new intervention, replicates and reinterprets the characteristics of the place, through the rhythm of fenestration and coating materials.

The FAMA restaurant is the first gastronomic project of chef Luis Lavrador.
Located in a recent building, in a relatively new zone of the city of Aveiro, this restaurant aims to be a meeting point, a place for lingering over a meal, and a reference.
Lingering was the word that guided this intervention from the very beginning. The chef wanted a restaurant where the clients would feel at home, where comfort was imperative so that the senses could be unleashed for the moment of savoring.
FERREIRARQUITETOS is an ArchitectureAtelier, founded by the Architect José Ferreira, which arises from his passion for architecture, fruit of the diversity of his projects, clients and various collaborations with different offices.
Each of our projects is carefully developed with careful attention to the specifics of each client, the demands of its program, its location, context and conceptual issues.
We seek to reconcile creativity with an open dialogue with the client and their reality, taking advantage of the new technologies, which allow a real-time monitoring of the project, facilitating the interaction between architecture, the client and his dream.
The intervention space was demanding: two buildings with more than 100 years of stories. Two distinct buildings of the early twentieth century with two main streets, whose main purpose was to become the new headquarters of Ubiwhere, a software company. The houses were neglected by the passage of time and flogged by the desertion, bringing to the project redoubled complexity.
Located in Aveiro’s city center, in the famous “Barrocas” area, the project is part of a consolidated and mostly a residential area. The main difficulty would be to maintain the essence of the turn of the century, adapting it to the present day with special care and authenticity, therefore, the main objective was to preserve and restore the existing structures in the two buildings, keeping the marks of time.
The Observatory rises above a labyrinth of canals, salt marshes and small islands that punctuate the landscape of the lagoon. The building serves as a welcome centre for the Natural Park’s visitors, who search for the biodiversity of the Vouga River’s estuary.
Based on minimalistic and pure lines, this wine house project, located in Aveiro, is characterised by a plane that is at the center of the design, which flows around the entire space.
Following a gardened furniture at the entrance of the space (which is an allusion to the vineyards), the focal point becomes the flowing plane, which guides the eye through the space, passing by the exhibited wine bottles, and ending at the main counter desk.
The wine house is divided in two floors: the top floor with a more private space, where wine tasting and workshops can be conducted, and the ground floor dedicated to the comercial activity of the shop.
